AUNT KATHY'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO DONUTS
As a child, my husband loved going to his Aunt Kathy's in hopes that she would be making his favorite old-fashioned potato donuts. These are light and flavorful. They are best served fresh and warm and enjoyed with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or cocoa. You can leave them plain, dust them with powdered sugar, white sugar and cinnamon, or drizzle them with a glaze.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Beat sugar and shortening together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir well. Stir in mashed potatoes. Add flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir using a sturdy spoon, as mixture will be thick. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour so that dough will be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Lightly flour a countertop and place plastic wrap on top of dough; roll out to desired thickness. Cut into strips or use a donut cutter to make traditional round donuts.
- Lower donuts carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until 1 side is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and continue frying until other side is golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts.
- Transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool.

FASTNACHTS (GERMAN DOUGHNUTS)
This is a traditional German recipe, usually made on Shrove Tuesday to use up the lard before Lent begins. Don't worry, you can fry them in vegetable oil instead of lard! Either way, they're delicious!

NORWEGIAN POTATO DOUGHNUTS
When I was a little girl my grandfather, who was a full fledged Norwegian, used to make mashed potato donuts for us on those special times when we got to sleep over at my grandparent's house. These donuts and wearing "angel jammies" (my grandfathers white T shirts) are 2 treasured memories of "Boppa." This recipe tastes very much like what I remember his tasting like. Prep time includes chilling time.

GERMAN FASTNACHTS WITH POTATO
The Lutherans call these Fastnachts and are supposed to eat them on Shrove Tuesday; the Mennonites call them Raised Doughnuts and will eat them any time. They're wonderful, warm or cold, with maple syrup, or sprinkled with sugar.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water with 1 tsp of sugar.
- Mix potatoes, sugar, potato water and flour; add yeast dissolved in water.
- Let rise in a warm place for several hours.
- Then add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup lukewarm water or milk, 3/4 cup melted butter, 3 eggs, salt and about 5 cups flour for stiff dough.
- Turn onto a well floured board and knead for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add a small amount of extra flour if necessary so the dough can be handled without sticking to your fingers.
- Grease a large bowl.
- Place the dough in the greased bowl.
- Cover with a thin towel, and let rise in a warm, draft free place for about 2 hours or until it is at least double in size.
- Now, according to all my instruction, youre supposed to let the dough rise again for another hour or two, but that means youd be fussing with these things all day; figure it out; this would be its third rising, with another to come; I think at this point Id be reckless and divide the dough in thirds and start rolling it out.
- What matters if you do have a few large holes in your fastnachts?
- Take your choice, rise or roll.
- Id try rolling the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness.
- Fastnachts have a traditional diamond shape; cut them into diamonds with a knife.
- Another essential is to cut a slit across the top of each fastnacht with a sharp knife.
- Let the fastnachts rise, covered, in a warm place, till theyre springy to the touch; when theyre quite fat and puffy, drop them with the raised side down into fat that is hot enough to brown a bread cube375 degrees.
- Fry on both sides.
- If you dont want that many fried cakes you might try baking some in a hot oven as rolls.
- Food that Really Schmecks.
